Atkins has secured a Gold Medal from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) in recognition of nine consecutive Gold Awards. As part of an integrated project team with Sellafield Ltd, ACKtiv is supporting the safe decommissioning of the First Generation Magnox Storage Pond (FGMSP) at Sellafield through its Bulk Sludge and Fuel Retrievals (BS&FR) project.
The RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards are internationally recognised and open to organisations of all sizes across a wide spectrum of industries. Entrants must provide evidence of a good health and safety management system supported by a portfolio of relevant documentation.
Dorothy Gradden, head of FGMSP for Sellafield Ltd, commented: “Safety is and always will be at the forefront of our activities at Sellafield. This award demonstrates that ACKtiv Nuclear shares our commitment to health and safety.”
“Nothing is more important than safety and security in the workplace and on our client sites,” added Dave Polkey, head of decommissioning north in Atkins’ nuclear division. “We’re very pleased to receive this award, which acknowledges our commitment to applying the highest standards of diligence in our mission to improve lives through nuclear energy.”
